[DOC] Update FIX_TEMPLATE_ERROR_SUMMARY.md with final solution details

Browse source 
Updated documentation to reflect the final, working solution:

Key changes:
- Clarified the three-step pattern: Extract → Fallback → Use
- Documented why complex conditionals in t-set fail
- Explained why intermediate variables are the solution
- Added detailed Git commit history (df57233, 0a0cf5a, 8e5a4a3)
- Included QWeb rendering limitations and best practices

The solution uses Python's native 'or' operator with intermediate variables,
avoiding complex conditionals that QWeb can't parse reliably.

Pattern:
1. Extract value: display_price_value = price_info.get('price')
2. Apply fallbacks: display_price = display_price_value or product.list_price or 0.0
3. Use in template: t-attf-data-price="{{ display_price }}"

This approach is simple, reliable, and follows QWeb best practices.

## Solution ## Solution
### Pattern: Pre-compute Safe Variables with t-set ### Pattern: Intermediate Variable + Simple Fallback
Instead of using inline `or` operators in attributes, pre-compute the safe values using QWeb's `<t t-set>` directive **before** the form element. The key insight is that complex conditional expressions in `t-set` can fail. Instead,
use Python's native `or` operator with intermediate variables to handle None values safely.
**Fixed code**: **Fixed code**:
```xml ```xml
<!-- Safe variable for product price --> <!-- Step 1: Extract the price value from price_info -->
<t t-set="safe_display_price" <t t-set="display_price_value"
t-value="display_price if display_price else (product.list_price if product.list_price else 0)"/> t-value="price_info.get('price')"/>
<!-- Safe variable for UoM category --> <!-- Step 2: Use Python's 'or' operator for safe fallback -->
<t t-set="safe_uom_category" <t t-set="display_price"
t-value="product.uom_id.category_id.name if (product.uom_id and product.uom_id.category_id) else ''"/> t-value="display_price_value or product.list_price or 0.0"/>
<!-- Use pre-computed safe variables in attributes --> <!-- Step 3: Reference the computed variable in attributes -->
<form ... <form ...
t-attf-data-product-price="{{ safe_display_price }}" t-attf-data-product-price="{{ display_price }}"
t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ safe_uom_category }}" t-attf-data-uom-category="{{ safe_uom_category }}"
> >
``` ```
### Why This Works ### Why This Works
1. **Explicit conditionals**: Uses `if-else` expressions instead of chained `or` operators 1. **Two-step computation**: Separates extraction from fallback logic
2. **Null-safe chaining**: Checks intermediate objects (e.g., `product.uom_id and product.uom_id.category_id`) 2. **Python short-circuit evaluation**: `or` operator properly handles None values
3. **QWeb-compatible**: Separates logic from attribute rendering 3. **Avoids complex conditionals**: Simple `or` chains instead of nested `if-else`
4. **Readable**: Clear intent of what values are being computed 4. **QWeb-compatible**: The `or` operator works reliably when value is pre-extracted
5. **Readable**: Clear intent - extract value, then fall back

[FIX] website_sale_aplicoop: Replace or operators with t-set safe variables in QWeb template [FIX] website_sale_aplicoop: Simplify price handling using Python or operator in t-set
The eskaera_shop_products template was using 'or' operators directly in - Create intermediate variable: display_price_value = price_info.get('price')
t-attf-* attributes, which causes QWeb parsing issues when values are None. - Then compute: display_price = display_price_value or product.list_price or 0.0
- Use simple reference in t-attf attribute: {{ display_price }}
Solution: Pre-compute safe variable values using t-set before the form element This approach:
- safe_display_price: Handles None values for display_price, falls back to product.list_price, then 0 1. Avoids complex nested conditionals in t-set
- safe_uom_category: Safely checks product.uom_id and category_id chain before accessing name 2. Uses Python's native short-circuit evaluation for None-safety
3. Keeps template expressions simple and readable
This pattern is more QWeb-compatible and avoids inline operator evaluation issues 4. Properly handles fallback values in the right evaluation order
that were causing "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable" errors.
Tested: Template loads successfully, safe variables render correctly.
``` ```
- Result: ✅ Template loads successfully, no errors

### QWeb Best Practices ### QWeb Rendering Limitations
1. **Avoid chained `or` operators in t-attf-* attributes** QWeb's template attribute system (`t-attf-*`) has specific limitations:
- ❌ Bad: `t-attf-data-value="{{ var1 or var2 or default }}"`
- ✅ Good: Pre-compute with t-set, use simple reference
2. **Use explicit conditionals for complex logic** 1. **Direct `or` operators in attributes don't work reliably**
- ❌ Bad: `{{ value or fallback }}` - ❌ Bad: `t-attf-value="{{ var1 or var2 or default }}"`
- ✅ Good: `{{ value if value else fallback }}` - Issue: QWeb doesn't parse `or` correctly in attribute context
3. **Null-safe chaining in templates** 2. **Complex conditionals in t-set can fail**
- ❌ Bad: `{{ object.nested.property }}` - ❌ Bad: `<t t-set="x" t-value="a if a else (b if b else c)"/>`
- ✅ Good: `{{ object.nested.property if (object and object.nested) else '' }}` - Issue: Nested conditionals confuse QWeb's expression parser
4. **Separate logic from rendering** 3. **Simple fallbacks work best**
- Use `t-set` to compute values in document order - ✅ Good: `<t t-set="x" t-value="a or b or c"/>`
- Reference computed variables in attributes - ✅ Good: `<t t-set="x" t-value="dict.get('key')"/>`
- Makes templates more maintainable and debuggable - These are simple expressions QWeb can reliably evaluate
### QWeb Rendering Pipeline 4. **Intermediate variables solve the problem**
- Extract the value first (with `.get()`)
- Then apply fallbacks (with `or`)
- Finally reference in attributes
- Keeps each step simple and QWeb-safe
``` ### The Pattern
XML Parsing → Variable Computation (t-set) → Attribute Evaluation (t-attf-*) → HTML Output
When you need safe None-handling in attributes:
```xml
<!-- Step 1: Extract -->
<t t-set="extracted_value" t-value="data.get('key')"/>
<!-- Step 2: Fallback -->
<t t-set="safe_value" t-value="extracted_value or default_value or fallback"/>
<!-- Step 3: Use -->
<div t-attf-data-attr="{{ safe_value }}"/>
``` ```
By pre-computing variables, we ensure the QWeb renderer processes values correctly at each stage. This three-step pattern ensures:
- Each computation is simple (QWeb-compatible)
- None values are handled correctly (Python's `or`)
- Attributes are never nil (fallback chain)
- Code is readable and maintainable
